Named and shamed: the drink drivers caught putting lives at risk over Christmas

DRINK drivers caught putting lives at risk over Christmas and New Year have started to appear in court to face the consequences.

A total of 65 people across Dorset were charged with drink or drug driving-related offences committed between December 1 and January 1.

The Daily Echo has joined forces with Dorset Police to name and shame all those convicted.

Today, in the first of a series of articles, we feature offenders between the ages of 18 and 52 caught as police stepped up patrols on the county’s roads.

Ben Moores, 19, of Mallard Road, Bournemouth, told the town’s magistrates being caught for drink driving “cost me a lot more than money”, revealing he had lost his job as a roofer and fallen out with his family as a result.

The court heard Moores was found to have consumed more than twice the legal limit after falling off his motorbike at the roundabout at the junction of Wellington Road and Holdenhurst Roads in Bournemouth in the early hours of December 5.

He admitted the offence and was banned from driving for 18 months, fined £150 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

David Beardall, 18, of West Street, Wimborne, apologised to the court when he pleaded guilty to driving while over the legal alcohol limit. He was banned for 18 months, fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

James Punter, 37, from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk was banned for 17 months and fined £600 after being caught driving a Mercedes on the A35 at Lytchett Minster on December 10.

Punter, who works in Dorset, told the court: “I made a massive mistake. I never drink and drive – I apologise.” He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

Neil Williamson, 52, of Cavendish Road, Bournemouth, admitted driving a Ford Transit on Commercial Road, Poole while over the limit but said he had not been drinking since 8pm the previous day.

He was banned from driving for three years, fined £100 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

n A number of people have also appeared before magistrates in Weymouth. Stuart Knight, 41, of Officer’s Field, Portland, Nathan Smith, 26, of Doulton Close, Weymouth, Samuel Bunney, 25, of Lindisfarne, Powerstock, and Jake Zak Mackay, 22, of Sackmore Lane, Marnhull, were all banned from driving.

That all well and good but will they keep to the ban and also not drink and drive in the future. I know someone who was banned and still drove for the whole 2 yr ban.

If that is the case you should have reported that someone. Or would it not bother you if they had killed someone whilst being banned.

its good we all think driving under the influence is anti social and we are all willing to "shop a drink driver" .
Next on the list is speeding but alas it seems this will take a long time and many will die before before we take a number plate and report this dangerous and anti social offence . It would seem even the law dos`nt take it serious yet with one man amassing 45 speeding points on his licence and still not banned. . there are even web sites that encourage this offence so now is the time to change attitudes.

Unfortunately, shopping a speeding driver is prone to fall at the first hurdle - mainly because if the Police don't witness it, nothing gets done. Joe Public cannot give an accurate judge of speed and the Police don't take any notice of us - I know as I have shopped someone who regularly drives at speeds of *in my guess* - over 60 mph in a 30 zone using the road as a race track with his mates - up and down for up to an hour at a time, but the Police don't even send a car out to look for them.

I've even shopped someone on the motorway for speeding past me so fast I could barely see what make of car he was driving (I was doing 70 myself!) and again they said they had no one to come out …..

We need more coppers on the streets, whether on foot or in cars looking for drivers going too fast and until this happens speeding will never get the same anti-social thumbs down as drink driving.

Sure they have random speed checks every now and again to clamp down on it, but for the few who get caught, there are many more who don't every single day - and the recent spate of accidents in heavy rain with cars aqua-planing is testament to this.

While the laws in this country state it is acceptable to drive with some alcohol in a drivers system this will never be stopped, if the law was serious about drink driving it should be zero or at least be lowered even further so that there is no excuse.

indeed you can report some who regularly drive at an antisocial speed
at worst the culprit can lose their car. As for the police not doing anything about it just persist and as I did once ... go to the police station ( if you can find one open) and report it and take the reporting officers number! they will do something even if it is only having a word with the driver.

Surely the 18 year old will have to take a retest now as he will have lost his licence and not just been banned. They are only allowed 6 points in the first 2 years of driving. Good to see something proactive being done. In regards to shopping drink drivers I have done so many a time and actually reported to a police officer of someone in my pub getting into a car which was still parked with the engine running and the dopey sod still didnt manage to catch him! On another note my friend confiscated a friends car keys to prevent her from driving and they got a lift home and Dorset police later arrested HER for drink driving and theft of car keys. How does that work? The car hadnt moved and she had to sit in the cells for 6 hours humiliated when she had done the sensible thing and got a lift.

Surely the 18 year old will have to take a retest now as he will have lost his licence and not just been banned. They are only allowed 6 points in the first 2 years of driving. Good to see something proactive being done. In regards to shopping drink drivers I have done so many a time and actually reported to a police officer of someone in my pub getting into a car which was still parked with the engine running and the dopey sod still didnt manage to catch him! On another note my friend confiscated a friends car keys to prevent her from driving and they got a lift home and Dorset police later arrested HER for drink driving and theft of car keys. How does that work? The car hadnt moved and she had to sit in the cells for 6 hours humiliated when she had done the sensible thing and got a lift.

Done for drink driving when not driving and theft of car keys, I find that very hard to believe.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact they are all men. Why no women drink drivers? Discuss.

Because it would have required them to reverse the car out of the space they left the car in when they went out :-D

its good we all think driving under the influence is anti social and we are all willing to "shop a drink driver" .
Next on the list is speeding but alas it seems this will take a long time and many will die before before we take a number plate and report this dangerous and anti social offence . It would seem even the law dos`nt take it serious yet with one man amassing 45 speeding points on his licence and still not banned. . there are even web sites that encourage this offence so now is the time to change attitudes.

Unfortunately, shopping a speeding driver is prone to fall at the first hurdle - mainly because if the Police don't witness it, nothing gets done. Joe Public cannot give an accurate judge of speed and the Police don't take any notice of us - I know as I have shopped someone who regularly drives at speeds of *in my guess* - over 60 mph in a 30 zone using the road as a race track with his mates - up and down for up to an hour at a time, but the Police don't even send a car out to look for them.

I've even shopped someone on the motorway for speeding past me so fast I could barely see what make of car he was driving (I was doing 70 myself!) and again they said they had no one to come out …..

We need more coppers on the streets, whether on foot or in cars looking for drivers going too fast and until this happens speeding will never get the same anti-social thumbs down as drink driving.

Sure they have random speed checks every now and again to clamp down on it, but for the few who get caught, there are many more who don't every single day - and the recent spate of accidents in heavy rain with cars aqua-planing is testament to this.

Sounds like you live next to Santa Pod. Of course the police won't send people out to a car speeding on the motorway, that car would be in the next county by the time a police car had been dispatched. And how could you of got the car details if you barely got the make?

I followed a car up the M3 the other day who braked hard whenever aquaplaning putting everyone around him at risk, sat in the far right lane. The problem is incompetence all round.

All these 'victim surcharges', yet in the incidents mentioned, the only victims were the idiots who were over the limit. So, we're even taxing fines these days! Is there nothing this government won't tax? Perhaps instead of this stupid surcharge, the offender should be made to make a donation to charity, rather than the sum end up presumably swallowed somewhere in the treasury?

Drink Driving - hardly a hanging offence, and yet the lynch mob holier-than-thou brigade are out in force again typing drivel from the annonymity of the internet. These people could have been marginally over the limit but still perfectly capable of driving. They will pay the price of their moment of madness for the next few years via their insurance premiums (that's if they manage to find companies willing to insure them) and unable to hire vehicels etc. Before anyone says 'you would have a different attitude if a member of your family was killed by them' blah blah I would say that there are plenty of drivers driving like maniacs on our roads who are stone cold sobre killing people through their recklessness and arrogance on a daily basis.

They have been caught and have no been punished. Perspective.

Why is there such a difference in driving bans?
It's easy really isn't it, if you're driving, don't drink alcohol! Especially if your job relies on you being able to drive!

Because the Mercedes driver can afford a better lawyer to represent him, and he said 'I never drink and drive',
So, obviously, you get a lesser sentence if you are rich and commit perjury.

They will pay the price of their moment of madness for the next few years via their insurance premiums (that's if they manage to find companies willing to insure them) and unable to hire vehicels etc. Before anyone says 'you would have a different attitude if a member of your family was killed by them' blah blah I would say that there are plenty of drivers driving like maniacs on our roads who are stone cold sobre killing people through their recklessness and arrogance on a daily basis.

They have been caught and have no been punished. Perspective.

Nothing is a hanging offence in this country any more. Jog on now.

Because it would have required them to reverse the car out of the space they left the car in when they went out :-D

No, its called a sense of humour, you should try it? I don't go getting upset when I'm accused of being a bit rubbish at baking cakes or doing the washing up!

Why were you doing the washing up?

All these 'victim surcharges', yet in the incidents mentioned, the only victims were the idiots who were over the limit. So, we're even taxing fines these days! Is there nothing this government won't tax? Perhaps instead of this stupid surcharge, the offender should be made to make a donation to charity, rather than the sum end up presumably swallowed somewhere in the treasury?

Victim surcharges go into a general fund to support victims of crimes and their families. Murder, Rape, Child Abuse and uninsured accident victims may be the beneficiaries of these funds. Still think its trivial ?

Agreed that both drink drivers and reckless sobre drivers are a menace on our roads, but the arrogance and recklessness of the drink driver begins when they decide to get in the car in the first place and therefore everything from that point on is a worsening of the offence. At least the reckless sobre driver starts his journey with a clean state and from that point on chooses with a sobre mind to descend into reckless illegalities.

Sadly I lost my best friend to a drink driver when I was 14 so I have no time for them.

How does that work? The car hadnt moved and she had to sit in the cells for 6 hours humiliated when she had done the sensible thing and got a lift.

Done for drink driving when not driving and theft of car keys, I find that very hard to believe.

Did I say that she was"Done?" I said she was arrested you fool. You clearly have too much time on your hands as all you do is criticise on here. READ before getting on your high horse and making yourself look stupid.

Arrested for drink driving when mot driving. I still don't think so, methinks you fantasise a little, unless of course you were the fool and drove a car while drunk.

Only marginally over the limit, you idiot, fact, one drink impairs driving skills and reaction time, British Medical Association tests have proved that we are 10 times more likely to have an accident when driving at the current drink drive limit and you're making light of these idiots being only marginally over the limit, muppet.

Because it would have required them to reverse the car out of the space they left the car in when they went out :-D

MCP!

No, its called a sense of humour, you should try it? I don't go getting upset when I'm accused of being a bit rubbish at baking cakes or doing the washing up!

Why were you doing the washing up?
Single I suppose.

No, I just get get carried away with the festive charitable spirit this time of year and offer to do it on christmas day, she then remembers why she didn't ask me to do it the rest of the year and thats me off the hook for another twelve months ;-)

That is charitable. I hope it was appreciated

all he did was admit he is lazy enough to want to get out of doing washing up. women dont enjoy doing it any more than guys. if she started being lazy with it he would probably kick her out and find a young fit blonde with no brains to wash up and make sandwiches .. (yeah right. like that would ever happen)

so really its a "win/win" situation in his eyes.

but for the rest of civilised men, they can do any chore properly whether they like it or not, regardless if they are single. says a lot for this type of guy here doesnt it. hmmm ;)

While the laws in this country state it is acceptable to drive with some alcohol in a drivers system this will never be stopped, if the law was serious about drink driving it should be zero or at least be lowered even further so that there is no excuse.

I totally agree. I could never understand allowing X amount of alcohol.

Perhaps as you have a computer you can investigate why Scandinavian countries allow around 20 rather then 0.

Hope this helps

Look like even those who enforce the law can be drunk on duty;
"PCSO Andrew Seston signalled for motorist Irfan Mehrban to stop his vehicle outside a school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, then called for assistance when the driver began arguing with him.
But when his colleagues arrived they suspected 44-year-old Seston had been drinking, and breathalysed him - finding that he was over the limit, before arresting him and taking him away.

Drink Driving - hardly a hanging offence, and yet the lynch mob holier-than-thou brigade are out in force again typing drivel from the annonymity of the internet. These people could have been marginally over the limit but still perfectly capable of driving. They will pay the price of their moment of madness for the next few years via their insurance premiums (that's if they manage to find companies willing to insure them) and unable to hire vehicels etc. Before anyone says 'you would have a different attitude if a member of your family was killed by them' blah blah I would say that there are plenty of drivers driving like maniacs on our roads who are stone cold sobre killing people through their recklessness and arrogance on a daily basis.

They have been caught and have no been punished. Perspective.

Nothing is a hanging offence in this country any more. Jog on now.

Which is a shame as there are two people awaiting sentencing that should be hanging from the gallows there is no shadow of a doubt regarding there guilt ,SAYING THAT HANGINGS TOO GOOD A PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE TWO SCUM
